Friends:

That’s what I have shot some 3 months back. I went there with my best friend. In fact, we went there to see the rice bags unloading. I was holding my camera and thus I have got these shots.

I am really busy these days. And I’ve just recovered from my flu. Still having slight coughing and sore throat which make me feels under par.

Dear Golden Bro,

Your shots are completely nice! That's one I want to see actually what is going on among my people. How could they get the enfranchisement from heavy loading on their backs for their living? Don't they have no right to choose other sorts of work? They are nobody else but our nationals! So, from your photos I got the sense to treat my people in sympathy more than before. Thanks a lot . I hope my life to have the power for helping such kind of person . :)

oh my god! in pic no 5,there is a man carrying 3 boxes on his shoulder....wht's inside the boxes?

Specially like the last one here. Such a pity that the whole place was taken out by the cyclone. Has it been rebuilt yet? Wharves are such interesting alive places. Here in Melbourne, Australia, you cannot get onto the wharves unless you have a security clearance, so, unless you have a real need to be there, they are off limits. I used to fish from them with my dad when I was younger, and he'd tell me about the ships and their engines, some of which he had designed. No more... Still, there are other places to go to cast a line.
